Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods of preventing and treating hormono-dependent disorders, in particular, estrogen-dependent disorders, selected from endometriosis, uterine fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial hype ⁇ lasia, polycistic ovarian disease, benign breast disease and fibrocystic mastopathy, which comprises administering to a patient in need thereof aromatase inactivator exemestane, alone or in combination with additional therapeutic agents.
- hormono-dependent disorders in particular, estrogen-dependent disorders, selected from endometriosis, uterine fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial hype ⁇ lasia, polycistic ovarian disease, benign breast disease and fibrocystic mastopathy
- Endometriosis is a disease in which patches of endometrial tissue, which normally is found only in the uterine lining (endometrium), grow outside the uterus.
- the misplaced endometrial tissue commonly adheres to the ovaries and the ligaments that support the uterus as well as the peritoneal lining of the abdominal cavity. Because the misplaced endometrial tissue responds to the same hormones that the uterus responds to, it may bleed during the menstrual period, often causing cramps, pain, irritation, and the formation of scar tissue.
- endometriotic tissue expresses aromatase activity, not seen in normal endometrium.
- Endometriosis is estimated to occur in about 10 to 15 percent of menstruating women between the ages of 25 to 44. As many as 25 to 50 percent of infertile women may have endometriosis, which can physically interfere with conception.
- endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease.
- the main source for circulating estrogens in the premenopausal women is the ovary, where androgens are converted to estrogens by the enzyme aromatase. It has been assumed that estrogens are delivered to endometriotic implants via circulation. However, it has been recently demonstrated that significant levels of aromatase activity and rnRNA are also present in the stromal component of the endometriotic tissue, whereas aromatase expression was either absent or barely detectable in the eutopic endometrium.
- prostaglandin (PG)E2 which is present in very high levels in endometriotic tissues, was found to be the most potent inducer of aromatase activity in endometriosis-derived stromal cells.
- the production of PGE2 in endometrial stromal cells was demonstrated to be simulated by cytokines and estradiol via enhancement of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of PGE2. Therefore, aberrant regulation of the aromatase enzyme in endometriotic tissues, which favor increased local level of estradiol, is possibly involved in the development and growth of endometriosis.
- the aims of treatment of a patient with endometriosis include elimination of the misplaced endometriotic tissue, relief of pain and induction of pregnancy.
- Current treatments include administration of drugs that suppress the activity of the ovaries and slow the growth of endometrial tissue, surgery to remove the misplaced endometriotic tissue, surgical removal or the uterus, fallopian tubes and/or ovaries, or combinations of those treatments.
- drugs such as combination estrogen-progestin oral contraceptives, progestins, danazol, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists (such as Buserelin) is accompanied by multiple unwanted side- effects associated with hormone modulation, including bleeding between periods, hot flushes, predisposition to osteoporosis and mood swings.
- GnRH gonadotropin-releasing hormone
- Benign breast disease or often called fibrocystic breast disease, appears to be dependent on ovarian steroids. See Jacquemier et al., Cancer, 49, 2534 (1982). Aromatase inhibitors have not been tried in this disease, but antiestrogens seem to be of benefit. See Ricciardi & Ianniruberto, Obstet. GynecoL, 54, 80 (1979).
- Uterine fibroids which appear in the reproductive years and regress after menopause, are the result of cellular proliferation and differentiation in the uterine tissue regulated by the ovarian steroids.
- treatment of a patient suffering from uterine fibroids include surgery and administration of GnRH agonists.
- Polycystic ovarian disease is one of the most common causes of infertility in women. The disease appears to result from an abnormality in steroid metabolism, and the major form of therapy in this disease is the antiestrogen, clomiphene. See Yen, Clin. Endocrinol., 12, 177 (1980).
- Fibrocystic mastopathy is a condition considered in the past to confer an increased risk for breast cancer. Reevaluation of the outcome of this disorder has concluded that the overall increased risk of 1.86 of developing breast cancer, estimated by pooling together many published series, was more likely due to the selection of patients than to the real malignant potential of the disease. The presence of proliferation with cell atypia on pathologic assessment, however, is associated with an increased risk for breast cancer, especially if the patient has a positive family history. Fibrocystic disease occurs more often among individuals 30 to 55 years of age, and is frequently identified by women as multiple, round lumps in one or both breasts. The niammographic patterns of multiple areas of fibrosis and cysts are typical, but represent a difficult background for evaluation of an underlying neoplasia.
- a method of prevention and treatment of estrogen dependent disorders selected from endometriosis, uterine fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, polycistic ovarian disease, fibrocystic breast disease and fibrocystic mastopathy, is disclosed which is comprised of administering to a mammalian patient in need of such treatment an effective amount of the aromatase inactivator exemestane, alone or in combination with additional therapeutic agents.
- the present invention relates to a method of preventing and treating estrogen dependent disorders selected from endometriosis, uterine fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, polycistic ovarian disease, fibrocystic breast disease and fibrocystic mastopathy, which comprises administering to a mammal patient in need of such treatment an effective amount of exemestane, either alone or in combination with an additional therapeutic agents, thus achieving a therapeutic effect.

- an estrogen dependent disorder selected from endometriosis, uterine fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, polycistic ovarian disease, fibrocystic breast disease and fibrocystic mastopathy

- an estrogen dependent disorder selected from endometriosis, uterine fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, polycistic ovarian disease, fibrocystic breast disease and fibrocystic mastopathy
- a further object of the present invention is to provide the use of exemestane in the manufacture of a medicament for preventing and controlling an estrogen dependent disorder selected from endometriosis, uterine fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, polycistic ovarian disease, fibrocystic breast disease and fibrocystic mastopathy.
- the present invention also provides the use of exemestane in the manufacture of a medicament for preventing and controlling an estrogen dependent disorder selected from endometriosis, uterine fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, polycistic ovarian disease, fibrocystic breast disease and fibrocystic mastopathy, in a patient undergoing a simultaneous, separate or sequential treatment with another therapeutic agent.

Accordingly, exemestane and the other therapeutic agent may be present within a single or distinct container.
- kits or single packages containing the pharmaceutical compositions useful for the combination treatment of the estrogen dependent disorder discussed above.
- the kits or packages may also contain instructions to use the pharmaceutical compositions in accordance with the present invention.
- the inventors of the present invention have also found that prevention and control of the above mentioned estrogen-dependent disorders by combined administration of a therapeutically effective amount of exemestane and a therapeutically effective amount of another therapeutic agent, can produce a therapeutic effect which is greater than that obtainable by single administration of a therapeutically effective amount of either sole exemestane or the sole "additional" therapeutic agent.
